I have run through all the scenarios. I will tell you that the best thing to do is to be honest and forth coming. In my experience waiting until someone has a chance to get to "know" you often makes the other person feel duped and tricked. I have found that telling a person upfront will let you know right away if this is a person that wants to go to the next step. Do not let yourself start to fall for a person without telling them.

Here is something to think about, there are sites where you can meet other poz people. That is how I met my husband. There was no need for that uncomfortable chat and no concern about rejection.
